Kassie

Hi, I’m Kasside Dakota Nicole McBride, but everyone calls me Kassie. I’m a 19-year-old graduate of South Stokes High School, and I’m thrilled to be working as a kennel assistant at Walnut Cove Veterinary Hospital. My love for animals has been a constant in my life, and I often asked my parents if we could welcome another pet into our home. To me, animals are truly family. I have a strong passion for providing compassionate care and understand the significance of patience, empathy, and responsibility when working with them. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and committed to creating a safe, supportive environment for every pet in our care. Outside of work, I’ve played basketball for most of my life and have been involved in band for many years. A fun fact about me is that I made All-District (online) band during middle school in the COVID era. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends—and, of course, playing with my animals. I’m especially excited to work alongside Dr. Lynne at Walnut Cove Veterinary Hospital. She is an amazing individual with a great personality, and I’m eager to learn, grow, and gain hands-on experience under her guidance.
